Student Accounts & Billing

The Office of Student Financial Services acts as a clearinghouse for various charges and credits that are placed directly on the student's account by departments and offices of the university. Each bill may include both "academic" charges (tuition, room, board, library fines, late course change, etc.) and certain "optional" items (telephone, parking fees, guest meals, laundry, etc.).  The office is located at 246 Church Street, New Haven.  (203) 432-2700.

Electronic Billing

The official means of communicating monthly financial account statements is electronically through the University's internet-based system for electronic billing and payment, Yale University eBill-ePay. Yale does not mail paper bills.

Student account statements are prepared and made available twelve times each year at the beginning of each month. Payment is due in full by 4 p.m. on the first business day of the following month. Email notifications that the account statement is available on the University eBill-ePay website (www.yale.edu/sis/ebep) are sent to all students who have activated their official Yale email accounts and to all student-designated authorized payers. It is imperative that all students activate and monitor their Yale email accounts on an ongoing basis.

Late Payment Fees

Bills for tuition, room, and board are available to the student during the first week of July, due and payable by August 1 for the fall term; and during the first week of November, due and payable by December 1 for the spring term. The Office of Student Financial Services will impose a late charge if any part of the term bill, less Yale-administered loans and scholarships that have been applied for on a timely basis, is not paid when due.

The University may withhold the registration of students who have not paid or made satisfactory payment arrangements for their term bills by the day of registration. It also reserves the right to refuse to provide grades, transcripts, certificates of examination, and diplomas to students who have not paid their bills on time.

Important Messages

Each month, please be sure to refer to the Important Monthly Messages web site at http://www.yale.edu/sfas/financial/accountmsgs.html. This site provides important reminders regarding your student account.

Payment Information

Account Payments

There are a variety of options offered for making payments. Yale does not accept Credit Card payments. With any payment you make, be sure to include the student's name and Yale account number.

About eBill-ePay

Yale University eBill-ePay, the University's system for electronic billing and payment, is the Preferred Means for Payment of Bills. It can be found at http://www.yale.edu/sis/ebep/. Electronic payments are easy and convenient -- no checks to write, no stamps, no envelopes, no hassle. Payments are immediately posted to your account. There is no charge to use this service. Bank information is password protected and secure and there is a printable confirmation receipt. You can make payments 365/24/7* up to 4 p.m. on your due date and avoid late fees. You have control over access to your account. You can also authorize up to three people to make payments electronically from their own computers to your account using Yale's system.
(*The eBill-ePay system will not be available when the system is undergoing upgrade, maintenance or repair.)

Use of your own bank payment service is not authorized by the University because it has no direct link to the student's Yale account. Payments made through such services arrive without proper account identification and always require manual processing that results in delayed crediting of the student's account, as well as resulting late fees and anxiety. So, please use Yale University eBill-ePay.

Cash and Checks

For those who choose to pay by check, a remittance advice with mailing instructions is available on the eBill-ePay web site. All bills must be paid in U.S. currency. Checks should be payable in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. Please do not remit post-dated checks because they are automatically processed by our bank.

Rejected payments

A processing fee of $25 is charged when the bank for any reason rejects a payment. A rejected payment may also result in late payment fees and registration may be withheld.

Please Note: Yale reserves the right to require that a rejected payment be replaced with a certified check, bank draft, or money order.

Yale Payment Plan

The Yale Payment Plan (YPP) that is administered by the University’s Office of Student Financial Services provides parents and students with the option to pay education expenses on a monthly basis. The Plan is designed to relieve the pressure of “lump-sum” payments by allowing families to spread payments over a period of months without incurring any interest charges. Participation in the YPP is elected on an annual basis and may be used to supplement the various forms of financial aid, such as grants, loans and scholarships.

If you enroll in the annual plan, one-half of the total amount of your contract will be applied toward each of the academic terms (Fall and Spring). If you enroll in either the Fall- or Spring-only plan, the total amount of your contract will be credited toward the corresponding term. Families who elect to participate pay an enrollment fee of $100 per plan. If your YPP account becomes delinquent (not paid by the payment plan due date), the unpaid contract balance may be charged to your regular Yale student account and be subject to applicable late payment fees.

The YPP has been effective for those wishing to pay monthly.
Click here and scroll down to the YPP information section where you can download an enrollment form for the current year . If you have any questions about the YPP or would like assistance, please call us at (203) 432-2700 and select "Press 3" from the Main Menu.
